Vemdalen, Sweden!

So, I was thinking what to blog about this time. Last time it was Art Wolfe so this time I wnated to do something different. I finally decided to tell a little about my hometown in Sweden and give some examples of what wildlife we have.
I grew up in a skitown in the middle/north of Sweden, called Vemdalen. It's a town with only 800 people living there all year around, but it expands a lot in the winter time, and summer time.

We get a lot of snow in the winter and the summers are pretty cold, around 65-70 F. It gets really dark in the wintertime, the sun is only up for about 5 hours or so, but in the summer it's really bright out at night which is awesome. Our "county animal" is the bear, which is understandable since we have a lot of brown bears around where I live. It's a beautiful place with a lot of nature, lots of forest and many wild animals and of course, the best part...good skiing.
